When the Permatune in my car started to go away, the car got much harder to start from cold.

Fuel accumulator test.........
Quote:
You've been given simple test to determine if the FA is leaking or not in your other post. Test it and confirm it is not the culprit for your low residual fuel pressure (??). Troubleshooting is a process of elimination. Once the FA is tested and confirmed good, focus your search to other possible culprit/s. Have you checked your residual fuel pressure? What do you mean by 'ignition control unit'? Be more specific and keep us posted. Tony Last edited by boyt911sc; 05-10-2012 at 08:12 AM.. |
